My only issue is that the small area around the holes were very often not level with the cup. Many seemed to have a raised area around the hole that was actually raised enough to be visible to the naked eye. Other aspects of the course were quite nice.
Good warmup
This course is a good warmup for the bigger courses. The crowned greens add the difficulty that make you work for your pars.
Worst course I’ve played on in Az
Fairways and rough all the same. A pasture. Greens OK but impossible
Over booked
We had 3:15 tee time
Got to first tee 3:40
Need to spread tee times out further apart or get marshal to move slow play along
Icing on cake was being chastised because we were 10 min late bring carts back
Guy literally chased us off last green taking flags out
I am retired guy who works part time on greens keeping team back in Ontario and we would never treat our paying golfers like we were
Bald guy at the front sucks
Been coming here for a while and the bald guy behind the counter was a first to give any issues. Won't look forward seeing this fella at the front desk
Old
The course was in good shape. But the area and amenities are very old. The staff was outstanding. Very friendly. They actually made the day better.
Fun layout though quite short. Nice views of the superstions. Kind of over crowded for the price. Waited 2 or 3 deep on several tee boxes.
Golf staff was not very friendly. snackbar and drinks staff were excellent.
Disorganized from the start. Lots of people waiting on the first tee. The course is an executive course that is not in very good shape and the greens are very slow. Ok forbeginnners to play.
